There are distinct seasonal temperature variations. Mean annual precipitation varies from 10 to 16 inches. The overall climate is characterized by cold dry winters in which winter moisture is less than summer. Wide yearly and seasonal fluctuations are common for this climatic zone which can range from 5 to 25 inches. Of this, approximately 25-35% falls as snow, and 65-75% falls as rain between April 1 and November 1. The growing season is April through September. As much as half or more of the annual precipitation can be expected to come during the period of July through September. August is typically the wettest month of the year. The driest period is usually from November to April; and February is normally the driest month. During July, August, and September, 4 to 6 inches of precipitation influence the presence and production of warm- season plants. Fall and spring moisture is conducive to the growth of cool-season herbaceous plants and maximum shrub growth. Growth usually begins in March and ends with plant maturity and seed dissemination when the moisture deficiency and warmer temperatures occur in early June. There is also a period of growth in the fall. Summer precipitation is characterized by brief thunderstorms, normally occurring in the afternoon and evening. Winter moisture usually occurs as snow, which seldom lies on the ground for more than a few days. The average annual total snowfall is 29.1 inches. The snow depth usually ranges from 0 to 1 inches during the winter months. The highest snowfall record is 57.1 inches during the 1993-1994 winter. The frost- free period typically ranges from 110 to 145 days and the freeze free period is from 140

(Poaceae: Stipeae): Evidence for a new genus, Piptatheropsis, and resurrection of Patis Konstantin Romaschenko,1,2 Paul M. Peterson,2 Robert J. Soreng,2 Oksana Futorna3 & Alfonso Susanna1 1 Laboratory of Molecular Systematics, Botanic Institute of Barcelona (CSIC−ICUB), Passeig del Migdia s.n., 08038 Barcelona, Spain 2 Department of Botany, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20013, U.S.A. 3 M.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 01601 Kiev, Ukraine Author for correspondence: Paul M. Peterson, [email protected] Abstract Historically, there has been taxonomic confusion among agrostologists regarding the short-spikeleted Stipeae. We refer to these as the Oryzopsis/Piptatherum complex which consists of short-spikeleted species with coriaceous to cartilaginous and often caducous-awned lemmas, and florets with a blunt callus. We conducted a phylogenetic analysis of 53 species that have been associated with this complex using four plastid regions (ndhF, rpl32-trnL, rps16-trnK, rps16 intron) in combination with lemma micromorphology to infer evolutionary relationships. Piptatherum as currently circumscribed is polyphyletic and is found in five strongly supported clades in our maximum likelihood tree. Based on our phylogenetic and morphological evidence we recognize a Eurasian Piptatherum s.str., propose a new genus, Piptatheropsis, to include five North American species, and resurrect the genus Patis to include three species, two from Eurasia and one from North America. We provide morphological descriptions of Patis, Piptatherum, and Piptatheropsis, and provide keys to the genera and species of the Oryzopsis/Piptatherum complex.

New primary literature and a review by Miller et al. [145] were incorporated and are cited throughout this review. SUMMARY Western juniper occurs in the Pacific Northwest, California, and Nevada. Old-growth western juniper stands that established in presettlement times (before the 1870s) occur primarily on sites of low productivity such as claypan soils, rimrock, outcrops, the edges of mesas, and upper slopes. They are generally very open and often had sparse understories. Western juniper has established and spread onto low slopes and valleys in many areas, especially areas formerly dominated by mountain big sagebrush. These postsettlement stands (woodland transitional communities) are denser than most presettlement and old-growth woodlands. They have substantial shrub understories in early to midsuccession. Western juniper establishes from seed. Seed cones are first produced around 20 years of age, but few are produced until at least 50 years of age. Mature western junipers produce seeds nearly every year, although seed production is highly variable across sites and years.

  • Ground-Flora Composition and Diversity of Young And
    GROUND-FLORA COMPOSITION AND DIVERSITY OF YOUNG AND MATURE WILDFIRE-REGENERATED JACK PINE FORESTS THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth A. Monarch, B.S. Graduate Program in Environment and Natural Resources The Ohio State University 2014 Master's Examination Committee: P. Charles Goebel, Advisor David M. Hix Stephen N. Matthews Copyrighted by Elizabeth Anne Monarch 2014 Abstract Ecological forestry has become an increasingly important tool as forest management and restoration efforts look to incorporate into management practices the types of vegetative structures, functions, and spatial patterns created by natural disturbances. One of the major factors leading forest managers to consider implementing ecological forestry practices is that many current management practices do not recreate the complexity and diversity created by natural disturbance regimes. This is currently the case for jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) forests in northern Lower Michigan where many jack pine forests are managed as plantations to increase habitat for the endangered Kirtland’s Warbler (Dendroica kirtlandii Baird, KW). Jack pine plantation management has come under scrutiny for creating homogenized stand structures, reducing natural regeneration of jack pine, and having a single-species restoration goal (the KW). Less is known about how stand-replacing wildfires affect the development of jack pine forests, particularly the effects of wildfire on the composition and structure of the ground flora. Ground flora, and the factors (e.g., stand structure, fuel loadings) that drive the ecological processes that shape the ground-flora vegetation, can provide vital information on how natural disturbances and biological legacies impact ecosystem structure.

  • Rare and Uncommon Native Vascular Plants of Vermont Vermont Natural Heritage Inventory Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department 09 August 2018
    Rare and Uncommon Native Vascular Plants of Vermont Vermont Natural Heritage Inventory Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department 09 August 2018 The Vermont Rare and Uncommon Native Vascular Plants List is produced by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department's Natural Heritage Inventory with assistance from the Scientific Advisory Group on Flora of the VT Endangered Species Committee. The Vermont Natural Heritage Inventory is the state’s official repository for records of rare, threatened, and endangered species. Information in the Natural Heritage Database is the result of work of botanists, natural resource professionals and interested amateurs. This list is intended to inform naturalists, biologists, planners, developers and the general public about our rare native flora. It contains a listing of the rare and uncommon, native, vascular plants of Vermont. These species may be rare because they have very particular habitat requirements, are subject to habitat loss, are at the edge of their range, are vulnerable to disturbance or collection, or have difficulty reproducing for unknown reasons. Some taxa on this list are rare varieties of otherwise common or exotic species, and are noted as such. Unless noted, varieties/subspecies on this list can be assumed to be the only varieties/subspecies of the species in Vermont. Species with a state status of Threatened or Endangered (T or E) are protected by Vermont’s Endangered Species Law (10 V.S.A. Chap. 123). Those with a federal status of Threatened or Endangered (LT or LE) are protected by the Federal Endangered Species Act (P.L. 93-205). The state and global ranks are informational categories regarding the rarity and extirpation/extinction risk of the species.
